Hester was a French Walloon whose parents initially fled to Canterbury, England; she left for Leiden,
Holland sometime before 1603. Her marriage to Francis occurred in Leiden, Holland six years before the Pilgrim church
made it's move to America. Hester soon followed on the The Anne in 1623. She brought with her three additional children:
Jacob, Jane, Elizabeth, and Hester. Another child, Mary, was born in the new colony in 1626.
